Second Law of Thermodynamics
Often called the “Supreme Law of Nature”
Application of the second law reveals that there are three types of thermodynamics processes that can occur without external forcing:
• Natural (or Irreversible)• Impossible• Reversible
The Second Law of Thermodynamics determines whether a given process can naturally occur → Preferred direction of energy transfer
→ Fraction of heat that can be converted into work

Example: Free Expansion of Gas
ValveOpen GasGasGasGas
Initially, the gas rapidly expands to fill the vacuum
For a period of time, the air “sloshes” back and forth
(or oscillates) between the two regions
Eventually, the oscillation ceases and each region contains equal amounts of the gas
An equilibrium has been reachedThe entropy increases

Types of Processes
Reversible Processes:
Reversal in direction returns the system and the environment to its original state• A conceptual process• Idealized version of how things should be No process is truly reversible
Conditions that allow processes to be almost reversible
• Process occurs at a very slow rate• Each intermediate state of the system is an equilibrium state • State variables are at equilibrium

Types of Processes
Distinction between Reversible and Irreversible Processes:
Reversible: One can reverse the process and both the systemand the environment will return to its original states
Irreversible: One can reverse the process and return the system to its original state, but the environment will have suffereda permanent change from its original state.

Carnot Cycle
Nicolas Leonard Sadi Carnot:
• French engineer and physicist
• Worked on early engines• Tried to improve their efficiency
Studied idealized heat engines, cyclic processes, and reversible processes
• Wrote his now famous paper, “A Reflection on the Motive Power of Fire” in 1824
Introduced the “Carnot Cycle” for an idealized, cyclic and reversible process

Thermodynamics M. D. Eastin
Carnot Cycle
Basic Concepts:
Cyclic process:
• A series of transformations by which the state of a system undergoes changes but the system is eventually returned to its original state
• Changes in volume during the process may result in external work
• The net heat absorbed by the system during the cyclic process is equivalent to the total external work done
Reversible process:
• Each transformation in the cyclic process achieves an equilibrium state
Transformations along A-B-C-D-A represents a cyclic process
The entire process is reversible since equilibirum is achieved for each state (A, B, C, and D)

Carnot Cycle
Carnot’s Idealized Heat Engine:
The Components
• A “working substance” (blue dots) is in a cylinder (Y) with insulated walls and a conducting base (B) fitted with an insulated, frictionless piston (P) to which a variable force can be applied
• A non-conducting stand (S) upon which the cylinder may be placed to insulate the conducting base
• An infinite warm reservoir of heat (H) at constant temperature T1
• An infinite cold reservoir for heat (C) at constant temperature T2
(where T1 > T2)

Thermodynamics M. D. Eastin
Carnot Cycle
Carnot’s Idealized Heat Engine:
The Four Processes:
(1) Adiabatic Compression
The substance begins at location A with a temperature of T2
The cylinder is placed on the stand and the substance is compressed by increasing the downward force on the piston
Since the cylinder is insulated, no heat can enter or leave the substance contained inside
Thus, the substance undergoes adiabatic compression and its temperature increases to T1
(location B)
T1 > T2

The Four Processes:
(2) Isothermal Expansion
The cylinder is now placed on the warm reservoir
A quantity of heat Q1 is extracted from the warm reservoir and thus absorbed by the substance
During this process the substance expands isothermally at T1 to location C
During this process the substance does work by expanding against the force applied to the piston.

Carnot CycleExample: A Hurricane
The National Hurricane Center closely monitors all hurricanes with a wide range of sensors, including buoys and satellites. On 27 August 2005, as Hurricane Katrina was approaching New Orleans, a buoy beneath the storm recorded a sea surface temperature of 29ºC. At the same time a satellite measured cloud top temperatures of -74ºC. Assuming Katrina was behaving like a Carnot cycle, how efficient was Katrina as a heat engine?

Thermodynamics M. D. Eastin
The Concept of Entropy
Basic Idea and Definition:
• In passing reversibly from one adiabat to another (θ1→θ2) along an isotherm, heat is either absorbed or released
• The amount of heat (Q) depends on the temperature (T) of the isotherm
• The ratio Q/T is the same no matter which isotherm is chosen in passing from one adiabat to another.
• Therefore, the ratio Q/T is a measure of the difference between the two adiabats
• This difference is called entropy (S).
Note: θ1, θ2, θ3 are isentropes or lines of constant entropy
They are also lines of constant potential temperature (i.e. dry adiabats)

Thermodynamics M. D. Eastin
The Concept of Entropy
Basic Idea and Definition:
• Entropy (S) is a thermodynamic state function (describes the state of system like p, T, and V) and is independent of path
• mass dependent (S) → units: J K-1
• mass independent (s) → units: J kg-1 K-1
Note: Again, entropy is defined only for reversible processes…
Recall:
• Reversible processes are an idealized concept• Reversible processes do not occur in nature

Special Processes:
Isothermal transformations
• Constant temperature• Any irreversible (natural) work increases the entropy of a system
Adiabatic transformations
• No exchange of heat with the environment• Entropy is constant
Isentropic transformations
• Constant entropy Adiabatic and isentropic transformations are the exact same thing• This is why “isentropes” and “dry adiabats” are the same on thermodynamic diagrams

Combining the First and Second Laws
Example: Air parcels rising through a cloud
• Most air parcels moving through the atmosphere experience an increase in entropy due to irreversible processes (condensation, radiational cooling, etc.)
• Assume an air parcel rising through a thunderstorm from 800 mb to 700 mb while its temperature remains constant. Calculate the change in entropy of the rising parcel.
p1 = 800 mb p2 = 700 mb dT = 0 (constant T)
Rd = 287 J/kgK
ΔS = 38.3 J/kg K

Consequences of the Second Law
Entropy and Potential Temperature:
• Recall the definition of potential temperature:
• Valid for adiabatic processes
• By combining the first and second laws with potential temperature, it can easily be shown (see you text) that:
or:
• Therefore, any reversible adiabatic process is also isentropic

Consequences of the Second Law
Atmospheric Motions:
Recall:
• Reversible transformations do not occur naturally However, very slow transformations are almost reversible if a parcel is allowed to continually reach equilibrium with its environment at each successive “step” along it path.
In the atmosphere, vertical motions are primarily responsible for heat transfer between the surface (a warm reservoir) and the top of the atmosphere, or outer space (a cold reservoir)
Therefore:
Synoptic vertical motions Very slow (~0.01 m/s) Minimal (or no) netOccur over large scale heat transferHigh and Low pressure systems
Convective vertical motions Very fast (~1-50 m/s) Large heat transferOccur over small scalesThunderstorms
